Maya is a Python library that provides a human-friendly API for working with datetimes, wrapping Python's datetime with simpler parsing, formatting, and timezone handling. It is especially designed for parsing datetime strings scraped from websites and converting between common formats like ISO 8601, RFC 2822, and RFC 3339.

Use cases

• parse datetime strings from scraped web pages
• convert timestamps between iso8601, rfc2822, and rfc3339 formats
• get 'tomorrow' or other human-readable dates in python
• convert datetimes between timezones easily
• generate intervals of time between a start and end
• normalize naive and timezone-aware datetimes

When to choose

• you want a simpler, human-friendly API over Python's datetime
• you need to parse messy datetime strings from websites
• you frequently convert between datetime string formats and timezones

When to avoid

• you only need standard library datetime and want zero dependencies
• you need high-performance bulk datetime parsing
• the project appears to be in maintenance mode with limited new development
